Sex: Bonded Pair Male & Female
Breed: Maltese/Poodle x
Estimated Date of Birth : 02/06/2018
Is your dream dog a fluffy little cloud? Well we’ve got two! Brother and sister duo Benny and Coco have been together their whole lives. They’ve seen horrible things but remain the sweetest little pair ever! They LOVE people so so much and want nothing more than the companionship those people provide. Almost exactly alike in personality. Bennie definitely relies on his sister for confidence more than she relies on him. With everything they’ve been through we don’t have the heart to separate them and are looking for an adoptive home that would love a bonded pair.
Bennie and Coco were part of the 50+ hoarding and neglect case with California City based rescue group Pawfect Companions. They and every single dog from the property were seized by animal control when it was discovered that animals were being starved and forced to live in wire crates with little to no care. Thankfully despite their experience with that “rescue” Bennie and Coco maintain wonderful temperaments and are ready to find a forever home.
Now a little about each of these adorable floofs:
Benny-
He is a character! He has good energy, is highly food driven, is not afraid to grab food from under large dogs! He is very alert to strangers being at the door. He has no idea he’s a small dog and can jump really high and get on most surfaces.
He loves cuddles and would thrive in a home with someone to give him lots of attention. He wants to be next to his human at all times.
Coco-
The sweetest girl ever. She will follow her people from room to room like a little shadow When she sees you make eye contact, she starts wiggling her tail. Super calm but has a fun side too especially when it’s bedtime she loves to bounce and wiggle in the sheets. Definitely a lap baby and she’s happiest when she’s with her humans.
These two have done well with dogs of all sizes and energy levels, are good with cats and lived with birds. They’re both potty trained using a dog door and are very easy and sweet companions. They’d to well in almost any environment so long as they have each other and a doting human or two to love them.
Here’s what you need to know about adopting a cat or dog from Marley's Mutts:
Each adoptable pet will be introduced on Facebook
Each pet will have its own profile here on the website
All pets will be spayed or neutered
All pets will be micro-chipped and shots will be up-to-date
Each pet has their own application to complete—make sure you use the right one (linked from their bio)
It’s important to us that each pet goes not just to a great home but to the “right” home. Our foster parents work with each pet to get to know them and their needs.
We try hard to list all of the pertinent info about each pet on the site so you can choose the pet that will fit with your family/lifestyle. If you don’t see a specific pet on the site, he/she is not ready for adoption. Please be patient and wait until the bio is listed. We don’t decide on a “first come, first served” basis but rather on a “who’s the very best fit.” So, don’t panic.
It’s not a quick process. We receive dozens of applications for each pet so please be patient. If you’re shortlisted you’ll be contacted as soon as possible.
If selected to meet one of our pets and you currently have pets, you’ll be asked to do an in-person pet intro; we don’t do the long-distance adoption thing. If you live out of town, plan a fun road trip to meet the pet in person.
Don’t be discouraged if your application is not selected. Remember, we get a lot of them! Trust us, the best fit for you is coming.
If you’re lucky and you do adopt a super amazing pet from Marley’s Mutts, don’t ever hesitate to reach out to us for training, medication, or behavior questions. We’re here for you, and your pet.
We would love to meet and hopefully adopt Coca and Bennie
